Employee Tip on Baseball Caps

Sandy with 4imprint 26 years

Stylish custom baseball caps seem like a simple, classic way to advertise a company, product or team, and they are! But there are so many different styles and features on embroidered caps that it's good to know as much as you can before ordering. Don't forget that you can simply call one of our friendly customer service reps if you have any questions about customized ball caps!

Structured vs. unstructured caps:Structured baseball caps are reinforced with a sturdier fabric behind the front two panels to help retain the shape of the hat. This cap style tends to have a sportier look that is suited well for teams and athletic promotions. Snapback and trucker caps are examples of structured caps. Unstructured caps are designed without reinforced fabric behind the two front panels of the cap. These unstructured caps tend to have a casual, relaxed look that fits closer to your head.

How many panels?Most of our printed caps have five or six panels. There is a panel on each side, two in back and one or two in front. The number of panels gives you different design options. Remember, artwork design help at 4imprint is always free!

High, medium or low profile?A cap's profile refers to the crown height. The crown is the front of the cap above the brim. A low profile baseball cap usually has a 2- or 3-inch crown. A high profile cap has a 4-inch crown or more, and a medium profile will be somewhere between the two. A low profile cap fits more tightly on the head. Dad hats are an example of a popular low profile cap. Low profile custom caps are popular with golfers, baseball players and other active sports enthusiasts. High profile caps are always structured to support the higher crown. We offer hundreds of choices to give you plenty of options for your customers, prospects and staff! Talk to our experts if you can't decide which style to order.

Adjustable hat closures:Classic snapback adjustments use a plastic strap with holes on one side and plastic pegs on the other that fit together. Hook-and-loop material is another popular cap closure. Buckles, straps and sliders are other options. Fitted hats (such as the FlexFit® brand) have an elastic band and are typically sold in sizes to fit small, medium or large heads.

Embroidery or full-color patch artwork:Beautiful embroidery will make your logo look sharp and last for years! If you want even more color options, try the new full color digital patch imprint: your full-color logo on a patch stitched to the cap! We have many embroidery options that your customer service rep can explain.

Colors galore:We offer 23 basic cap colors (depending on the style you choose), and some styles offer two-tone options. We also offer some camouflage options, plaids, streaks, American flag designs and more! Sandwich bills offer a contrasting stripe or color on the bill and some can be imprinted on that edge! Ask about multiple imprint locations for even more impact.

Name brands and co-branding:If you are looking for a specific brand of cap, check our brand filter on the left! As you can see, we carry more than 20 baseball cap brands, including Adidas, Carhartt, Champion, Columbia, Dri Duck, FILA, Flexfit, Nike, PUMA, Under Armour and Yupoong! When you put your logo on a name brand cap, this co-branding gives you instant credibility with clients and prospects! Give us a try when you need branded baseball hats—you'll love it when you see your business or group logo on a sharp-looking cap with the best printing in the business!
